Deleting needless pbs files

When PBS queue system's finished your calculation was leaving two info file: [name].o[number] and [name].e[number]. If results were correct you don't need them. To delete all pbs file (and only them*) use this command:
rm -f *.[eo]*
* Of course if you have file with e or o after dot it will be delete too. In this situation you can upgrade command to
rm -f *.[eo][0-9]*
. However, if can fail too if there is number after o or e letter ;). But It's rather unusual situation. You can add this line to your .bashrc file:
 alias pbsdel="rm -f *.[eo][0-9]"
. Now you can use pbsdel to deleting pbs file.
